Anxiety
It feels like winter is coming
In the middle of June.
Its hard to breathe,
I'll black out soon.
I know it seems pointless
to obsess over nothing.
But you don't understand,
in my head it means everything.
If you could spend a day
Inside my messed up head
You would understand
I cannot control the dread.
It comes out of nowhere
Sometimes for seemingly no reason
It can happen any day, any time,
Any season.
I close in on myself
Burrow down so you don't see
You tell me its not real
But it is, how could it not be
The doctors say I need medicine
You say I'm an attention seeker
I can't afford for you to doubt me
I need you to be my keeper
Without you
I am nothing
I can't come back
If there isn't something
Anxiety is not my friend
It is my enemy
You are supposed to help
Not desert me
Bring me back from hell
Save me
Be the one that
Will set me free
